For folks who have recently been through training or are scheduled for an upcoming class; has anyone printed off the YX study guide? I tend to do better with paper study materials versus PDF format. I priced the printing at FedEx for +$200.00. That’s a color print which would be more beneficial considering there are many color coded diagrams. If it’s not crucial to commit before training then I may just work with the PDF. Thanks for any input.

I would use the supplemental guide to get comfy browsing content quickly, use the table of contents and search function. These skills will be essential during indoc studies.
If you print anything, print the flows, limitations and profiles. Do you really need a paper explaining how the the DVDR works?

It’s been virtually stagnant since it opened. Either Republic thought they were going to get more of Mesa’s flying than they actually got or it’s just another base RPA can use for advertising to shake the east coast and outstation basing mentality they’re known for. Just like ORD, it’s useless.

^He’s right. Opening IAH made no sense. It’s even more puzzling now that XJT is basing their new 175s there.
It was probably due to BB expecting to win some flying from Mesa or XJT that never happened.

Hey guys, new hire here sitting at home waiting for a class date. There has been lot of doom and gloom on here about the future of republic. What it sounds like is there is no flying coming and to stear clear of the company all together. Is there anyone on here that might have a different outlook. Or is that "KC guy" right and we should all just look elsewhere since its so bad here?

I’ve got a class date in May. I’m really excited that the time is almost here! Republic seems like a great place to work. My only concern about is the fact that classes are full (I think now through the end of the year) and it seems like it is already very heavy on the FO side. I’ve been lurking in the Endeavor forum and reading about the nightmare long reserve time their new hires (and not-so-new-hires) are going through. Someone said they only did 100 hours total of flying and they were 6 months out of training.
I’m wondering if my class date in May is soon enough that I will still have seniority and actually be able to fly? If I had to wait until fall to start, I would probably choose a different airline because from what I’m reading in these forums, it sounds like where Endeavor was a year ago.
I know nobody has a crystal ball, but any educated guesses on the fate of a new hire starting class in the next couple of classes, versus someone starting towards the end of the year?

If you don't mind me asking, when did you interview? I interviewed in December, just waiting for a class date now. I know they are very backed up, but I'm expecting probably a summer class date.
